Enjoy working on your MacBeth Parodies! Be ready to perform on Friday!

Also, if you need a way to easily share and edit your script among many people, I recommend Google Docs. It's like a word processor online, except multiple people can view and edit it, even at the same time.

Macbeth test

Tuesday: Finish Macbeth and take the objective test. You need to know the play well, so don't rely on a quick skim through the play and the pieces we read in class. Enjoy this glorious weather!

p.s.

I want to see everyone with their books on Friday. The test Tuesday is composed of 50 questions and many are nitpicky -- you need to know your play well. Besides reading it again with us while we study, you should read it again this weekend.

Macbeth prompt #1

Last week I read that yet another famous baseball star, Manny Ramirez, had tested positive for steroids. I began to wonder just when he . . . or Alex Rodriguez, or Barry Bonds or . . . had first decided that hard work alone was not enough to put them on top. When, I wondered, did they first decide to cheat their way to stardom? Did they lose any sleep over it? And how many potential stars have been edged out by others of equal or even lesser ability? What does this have to do with Macbeth? Ah, that's what I want you to discuss -- include quoted passages as relevant.

Macbeth on Monday

Bring your copy of Macbeth to class on Monday. Prior to class, read through Act III; by Wed. finish reading the entire play.
